READ THE ENTIRETY OF THE POST IF YOU INTEND ON ATTEMPTING THIS! you have been warned, any problems with your device will not be my problem, all I did is use my Googlefu.
3 further points. 1) spell correctly or it makes you look like a 12 yr old twat and 2) ask for help and for them to clarify, don't tell people what they said is wrong 3) patience young one, if you spend a few extra minutes reading you'll find all that you need.

Apps

Ok. So I fixed my phone thanks to you guys. But now, after I downloaded a few apps, nothing is Installing onto my phone. Does anybody have any idea what's wrong with my phone? And I have Cyanogen, if I updated it, will it fix it?
You are just full of questions, aren't you. Well of course they are not installing to your phone if you are using a ext partion and apps2sd, then they install on, say it with me.....your sd card.
Sorry I am a little sarcistic when I just wake up

Hahaha... lol... I don't get it.
Can you explain? They were installing at first but now they won't.
I was being a smartass since you said........oh nevermind..... so when you say they don't install, give more info, is it.a problem parsing the package, are they downloading? If they are not d/l than log out of gtalk and sign back in, that seems to be the common answer for that or just reboot your phone

Well, they Download, but they don't Install.
Hmmm...... what's it say after they download, does your phone say uninstall failed, or you just can't find them in your system? What exactly is it doing

Your making me feel bad!! =( Lol. It just says Installation Unsuccessful.
Is it possible than your ext partion corrupted somehow, you could always try a wipe and a reflash of your rom or repartion your sd, honestly I never had this issue and hence not sure of a possible card and have not seen any posts of anyone else to give me any plausible ideas
LOL this thread is funny but anyway have you tried using cyanogen post about Market download freeze? I think that's what you are talking about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539780
hope it helps!
I thought that was what he was talking about at first but after reading cyanogen thread, the problem in the thread is when the download is not downloading it just hangs when it goes to download unlike the op's problem where they are not installing
Sounds like a faulty sd card. Could need to be repartitioned or simply wipe your ext2/3, someone here give this kind man the commands to do so in recovery.

Won't work.
What do you mean won't work? What happened when you typed it in? If you got a error then A) You mistyped or B) Your card wasn't properly partitioned before.
Honestly bud you seem to not totally grasp alot of this which is fine because it is alot to learn but you may need to just wipe your rom and format your card then repartition it double checking everything, and type print after you do the 2 partitions it will show you how many partitions you have.
Aren't these threads the greatest. Hey it won't work or what's wrong with my phone? People need to give the most details they can and what they have tried to do to resolve the issue.

[Q] CWM v3

Ive seen many questions in the Q & A forum about this CWM and figured the best way is to get developers and other main contributors to look at the issues some of the "little people" have about using it. DAF was convenient and easy for all because it was one click for the people who could get that far, and since CWM, there where the 3 versions and this one has yet to really be well touched upon as a full tutorial with the copy to SD not being needed any more. I feel as do many others that a main "sticky" thread be made for it with a few FAQ on this section of the forum so they do not have to search too far away from the main thread they are using and get completely confused.
1. Will doing a backup and changing ROMs using CWM with different partition delete my backup?
2. Will doing a backup KEEP my partition?
3. Is it possible to do a partition from CWM or is the partition need to be carried on a computer?
(this to me seemed to defeat the purpose of CWM with some DEVs making their own partition layouts and not using the main ones that were originally laid out for use, no aim towards DEVs because I know they work hard)
4. If I put multiple ROMs on my SD card do I need to change the partition every time if I want to change them?
5. Is there a way to know which backups are from which ROMs I had used?
(I guess this is asking if they can change the name?)
6. How do I know when to "Wipe Cache Partition"?
I know there is *THIS* thread, however there are surely some differences between the copy of those files and not needing to copy amongst other things to which the "new" people do not understand.
If this is just a bother and hindrance to you all, I understand the deletion of this thread, however it did take quite a while to plan out what to write, and what not to should you choose to do so and I would give the answers, however even I do not know all of them and so I leave this to you all for debate. NO PUBLIC BASHING PLEASE

I said it could be moved or deleted just the questions are not very well maintained in that DEDICATED (? HA) forum there are multiple posts of the same and I felt that since there is a sticky thread here that could answer the forum issue of the DEVELOPED CWM program this should be brought to the attention and as such is a DEV related issue. It can and most likely will be moved, do you have an answer to any of the issues the people asked?

No this will not delete your back up as it is saved on yor SD card when you do the back up.

This I am not really sure of as I am not a dev but I think it does as the backup is just a backup of your settings, personal information, your gmail account associated with your Android, boot data, and any cache data that you have built up.

You can partition your SD card with CWM but I do not think you can do a system portion as CWM is what creats the system portion when you flash it. It creates a partition in the CWM.

Once again I am not a dev (yet) and I am not 100% sure of this. But I would say if the ROMs you have stored on SD card need different portition sizes then yes you will need to change the partition size when you change ROMs. If they require the same partition size then no you do not need to change the partition size.

You should be able to manually go into your SD card with a computer and change the name on the backup file, but I do not know if this will interfer with CWM being able to detect the backup file. So you might want to write down the original full name of the file befor you change it.

As a rule of thumb I would not delete my cache unless I was about to flash a new ROM.

not sure with your question
Do you mean partition layout for Nand Android?
As I know, the only way to create partition lay out to fit the ROM requirement is using CWM.
DFT = Dark Forces Team. What do you mean with DFT? did you refer to MAGLDR?
Please give more info

I believe you meant to type DAF instead of DFT, don't sweet it we all make mistakes.
If I am wrong someone please correct me, but I think you change it the same as you do in clocke work mode.
Extract the files from the. zip file and look for the flash.cfg file. Then open Wordpad and drag the file to the word pad and look for the below line of text.
misro 5M ---à system ya ???M cache ya 4M userdata ya
There should be numbers wher ai have the three ? just change that number to the size you want and save the file.
Hello!
Wrong! Excuse me!
Went through Google translator and the name was changed.
Thank you for the quick return they gave me.
T-Macgnolia:
I found the file you said, but the problem is that the micro USB is broken. Then its question would be:
How do I install a new layout without a PC or change the layout already installed?
silverwind:
It really was DFT. I was wrong.
Insee more information above. If it is not necessary to let me know, please, that I'll post more details.
Thanks again!

Inside there would be no possibility of Android?
Correct me if I eraado, but once loaded the OS running in memory and ta would be possible to make changes in the partition. Right?
Perhaps if you boot with Ubuntu and Linux using a tool ...
I can not believe that my trading on my HD2 ROM came to an end ...
Thanks again
It has been asked several times, and no one has given a yes answer.
I'm sure it CAN be done, but you are probably going to have to do it yourself. There are no instructions, no methods, and no one has ever said "yes it can be done".
If you find a way, there will be many people who would praise you like a God!

I wonder if it could be done by using Terminal Emulator while running android. I would think if it is possible that right now you would only be abale to use Terminal Emulator to do it unless there is a little known app that has been developed.

Installing a Nand over SD

Hi,
I am running a SD rom and want to install a Nand.
How would I do this?
the normal way, , , 2.08.hspl,any radio 2.07.50 or higher (with a .50. in it, higher than 2,07), magldr, cwm of the correct size,then the rom. the fact you have android on sd is completely besides the point.

I have SD as I was advised by "a XDA expert" so make of that what you will.
sorry, that means nothing unless you clarify why having sd would be an issue, ,, do you mean you have an sd rom you want to dual boot alongside a nand? do you mean you want to move the sd rom onto nand? or just simply flash a new rom onto nand and forget about the sd one??
more detail of what you want to do is needed, please.

I am booting from a SD card and now I want to move onto NAND. And I want to flash a new rom and forget about the old one.
I have looked everywhere for videos to move from SD onto NANd but couldn't find any.

Then that is easy, all you need to do is what was previously posted. I would start by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783&highlight=toolkit
Download that program as it will do everything that you need to do to get prepared for a Nand rom. There is a video there of how to use it.
You basically Task 29, then you install MAGLDR 1.13. Once that is done you will install Clockwork recovery (you will need to check that Rom thread you want for the appropriate recovery size).
Once you have your recovery set up you just place your chosen Rom onto the card and flash it from recovery.
And no it doesn't matter what size your card is unless you plan on doing apps2sd.

He even gave you an explanation of what each value is, but you thank him by clearly not reading the info we provided and then attempting to flame him.
Every rom thread has the necessary partition listed somewhere in the first few posts. If you can't find it searching the thread will usually do it too as there is always someone asking what partition size to use.
Now we were all noobs at one point and we all have to learn the same lesson, use the search tools and ask questions last. If you do ask, pay attention to the info provided as there are a lot of knowledgeable users here who are willing to help. But by you posting like that it will almost guarantee that you get flamed the next time you asked something.
Be respectful and you will get all the help you need, continue to post like this and you will find yourself shunned.

Hang on, who says I "flamed him" I was asking about something I have no idea about. I am one of those people that goes through every flash knowing what I am doing and knowing the full facts.
I paid full attention to what advice was given and appreciate the time and effort given to me. I have no idea what size I have to partition, that's all I asked.
I do not appreciate people thinking just because they have flashed more than others, they are superior in any way.
That guy posted his comment in a way to suggest people who know less than him are stupid.
I am on here to seek advice and knowledge so that I can pass this to many others who are are on here.
According to the ROM you want, the partition size is 445 and the cache size is 5 if you have a TMOUS phone. If its the European model the you need a 150 with a cache size of 5 and you need to partition your sd card with 3 partitions. The easiest way to partition your phone is to use the HD2 tool kit. And if you need to partition your card, then use a program like EASEUS Partition Master. Hope that helps.

1- You did not flame me, you were just disrespectful.

You also ignored/still ignoring my post which had the PARTITION SIZE MENTIONED ON IT (which supports my theory that you don't pay full attention or read thoroughly the information given to you).
4-If you really came here to seek advice and knowledge you wouldn't have made disrespectful comments about those who are providing advice neither would you TOTALLY IGNORE the information given to you and simply re-ask your question . Even if you were able to get the information, your way in which you'll pass it to many others would be the same way.

According to the ROM you want, the partition size is 445 and the cache size is 5 if you have a TMOUS phone. If its the European model the you need a 150 with a cache size of 5 and you need to partition your sd card with 3 partitions. The easiest way to partition your phone is to use the HD2 tool kit. And if you need to partition your card, then use a program like EASEUS Partition Master. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the clear instructions. What does this mean and how would I do this "and you need to partition your sd card with 3 partitions"

You need only 2 partitions. At first the big FAT32 Partition and a second partition with EXT3 formatted for your user apps (Size: 512MB-1024MB). Only one rom need a third SWAP partition, all other will ignore it or get problems to find the EXT3 partition.
The easiest way to create your second Ext3 Partition is in clockwork mode recovery, described like here.
But why a rom with graphic glitches (fix for that disable the hardware accelaration) and a camcorder with a 320er resolution. The graphic glitches are very annoying in games, unplayable. If you need a stable and fast gingerbread rom with sense look and features, try this one. You need 160MB system size and 5MB caches size for your clockwork partitions in HD2Toolkit for this rom.
Obvious troll is an obvious troll... Right?
Someone gave me an hd2... It took two threads and maybe 30 minutes to know the process... All of which were given/explained to you.
Check post 2 of the hyperdroid ROM in the Dev section. There is a 13 minute video that did an AMAZING job of showing each step. Maybe visual will help better, it does for me.
I prefer cm7/miui so I went with the 150MB version of cwr.
And no... I'm not better than you, but I read a lot more. I knew NOTHING about this phone.

recover formated galaxy s4's data

hey, i send my broken screen galaxy s4 too samsung in israel and those sons of b*tches formated my device with no reason and without asking me. and no, not wipe data- full format, that formated all my 5000 photos from the last 4-5 years...
i understood that if i want to recover with dr.fone i need UMS, but the galaxy is MTP. so i rooted my S4 even though i didn't want to play with root in this device. then, i saw that i can use the ums only for external memory and not for internal, so i can't use any recovery program.
any advices on what can i do?? it's really important to me...
Galaxy S4 recovery always wipes Internal SD when wiping data. It's a shame really.
I always use Google Plus Backup and Dropbox Backup so I always have a way to recover them.
You should consider doing this next time.

I think it would helpful if you could post in the forum so others who might have the same problem can benefit from the solution, unless you're solution is a paid solution or you charge to provide the solution, then it would be whole other story
Thanks

Recover your Images & Videos.
Alright then, as I said here is the solution:
Requirements:
Extra Card Reader(if your phone isn't recognizing by PC)
ZAR recovery -> Get it from here
Now,
Just plug in your Memory card in SdCard Reader (or phone if your PC recognized it as Removable disk)
Code:
Go to Start->Run-> type cmd & hit enter (Command Prompt will be opened)
type chkdsk /x /f "your Drive extension"(without Quotes like [B]f:[/B])
After completion of reading all sectors with command prompt, just close the window & start ZAR Recovery.
In ZAR recovery,
Now, it will detect your drive then choose your Drive.
it will show 3 options -> Choose 1st one for Image & video ( for free )
Give it path to save files of Video & Pics.
Click on Start.
It will recover your Images & Videos. But do it correctly.:good:
Hope you will recover all of your Images & stuff.:angel:
